title: [The use of autogenic training in the combined therapy of bronchial asthma patients].
abstract: Since 1976 in the Allergologic Clinic autogenous training is applied in asthmatic patients as group therapy combined with respiratory exercises. In 10 asthmatic patients in the conditions of an acute experiment the forced vital capacity, forced expiratory flow for I s and maximum mean expiratory flow were followed up after autogenous training. An improvement of the ventilation indices was found. The autogenous training is a suitable nonmedicamentous method as a part of the total rehabilitation therapy in asthmatic patients.
